Steam install problems

Some of the directories in the mod organizer.ini file are messed up but every time i fix them they change back when i launch mod organizer. Ex: X:/Skyrim/Skyrim Perfectly Modded 4.4/Skyrim/kyrimkyrim Perfectly Modded 4.4kyrimyrimkyrim Perfectly Modded 4.4kyrimkse_loader.exe

If you are using Notepad++ or Notepad to Edit the directories, you have to be careful what you do to them. i suggest keeping an unedited copy of the modorganizer.ini on hand for when this happens.

make sure to use Fin and replace and to type everything in PERFECTLY. just use this, you can copy and past and see how it works for you. Make sure to start with the unedited version of the Modorganizer.ini

Basically it shows you how to create "dummy" X drive and symlink the dummy drive to your actual Skyrim install drive/folder.

Worked like a charm on first try, did not have ot change my ModOrganizer.ini at all - all the X pathnames worked perfectly no matter the / \ \\ // usage.

Before stumbling onto the "symlink method" I tried the replacing pathnames in ModOrganizer.ini method but where it got complicated was longer pathnames - for example below one:X:/Skyrim/MO MODS/BodySlide and Outfit Studio/CalienteTools/BodySlide/BodySlide.exe

According to the guide i should replace:"X:/" Replace it with "YOUR INSTALL DRIVE LOCATION\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim)"
